pressure switch communication

So it definetly works!!! My depest repect to you Mr. Medici. Your self automated watering sytem is the best low budget automated watering sytem and it beats all comercial products. 10 John Meda simplicity points for your design. I definitely fall in love with it :).

What i have seen is that it took nearly 49 houres for the plant to consume sufficent water and to overcome the hight distance between pressureswitch and ceramic sensor to do the switch.

To do the reverse operation it took nearly 50 min or to be less precise 1 hour. I handwatered the plant with about 400ml of water , directly , no dripping system. Thats the next point about this system. If it is indoor it must be precise , otherwise you water your carpet too. This will be relationated with the tubes-diameter, folds and switches inside the system, the kind of valve and pressureswitch, the waterpressure, the hight of the watertank etc.. But it is not a real problem you can addjust all this parameters with the height of the pressureswitch.

Is a trained chemist and architect. He got trained at the Treibacher Chemical Factories where he got formed in different laboratories like Reseach & Development , Active Oxigen, Central Analyses etc.. etc... Then after a profound and wide education in chemistry, he was 2 years responsable for the physical laboratory of the Rare Earth Division. Made the school leaving examination at night and moved on to Graz to study chemistry. After two years of chemistry, from one day to another, in a somehow schizophrenic move he decided to become an architect. A decision he never regreted. He studied architecture at the TU GRAZ and at ETSA Sevilla and worked in different national and international architectual studios in Vienna, Sevilla and Barcelona.
